Laurie Lisle Author Talk Summary

 Author Laurie Lisle was a journalist and then became a biographer. Portrait of an Artist, A Passionate Life, Four-Tenths of an Acre, Without Child, and a book about Westover School. Long ago through the library, she hosted a book group of women's memoires, including Stolen Lives and Diary of a Slave Girl which I recall taking part in and feeling moved by the books and discussions.

In a live interview, Laurie answered some questions such as the difference of a memoire and autobiography.
